My fishing partner was out of town for the weekend so I asked my wife and daughter. My wife said she needed to be back by 3:00 for some shopping. The last time I took her was about this time last year and she got skunked. She was not optimistic she would catch anything. Reverse rolls yesterday. We fished the main lake. Water temps still pretty high at 67 degrees. We only fished for 2 hours. She asked how will I know I have one. I said you will know and just yank as hard as you can to set the hook and hang onto the pole. Not 10 minutes later and about 30 minutes in she not only hooked into her first pike but a beauty. Caught in 10 fow on a 1oz white and blue spinner bait. Very proud of her ability to remain calm and land this beautiful fish that was safely released. She does not fish often but when she does she sure knows how to catch big fish.

Tight lines,
